From: nikhil@NEWTOWNE-VARIETY.LCS.MIT.EDU (Rishiyur S. Nikhil) A friend of mine from India (Prof. Rajeev Sangal, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur) is looking into buying Lisp machines for AI research. Because of lack of maintenance, support etc. in India, he must rule out Symbolics, LMI, TI, Xerox, etc. The one exception seems to be an AI VaxStation from DEC (DEC is represented in India). So, he would like to obtain opinions about the DEC AI VaxStation from anyone who has used it. If you are/have been a user, I would appreciate it if you could send me your appraisal. Reply to (ARPAnet): nikhil@xx.lcs.mit.edu and I will pass it on to him. If there is interest, I can also summarize my findings to this list. Thanks in advance for your help. Rishiyur Nikhil
